Forum newbie here so apologies for stupid questions in advance...
I have a 2019 SX, with a Humminbird Helix 5 DI. Either I don't know how, or it doesn't do what I need it to do....Explanation:
I basically need it to do 2 things:
1. GPS -> Let me enter a current point and a destination, and navigate me to it. Both by selecting a destination on screen, AND by letting me enter GPS and LORAN coordinates. Kinda like "google Maps" for the water ;-)
2. Find things with about 5-7 feet of relief from the bottom with sonar. This is so I can dive in and tie my boat into whatever I am diving on. (Note: I do NOT tie to reefs nor do I anchor on them - this is for wrecks and man-made reefs)
Backstory: I like to SCUBA Dive in both the Florida Panhandle and in the Keys. I will have coordinates for a certain wreck or reef, and I need to navigate as close as possible to those coordinates.
What GPS/Chartplotter would anyone recommend that does this?
All guidance is appreciated!
